Are they any resources or guides explaining how best to caption videos in terms of pacing the cuts in the captions to match the cadence of the dialogue versus pacing the captions based on the strict visual appeal of each individual captioned phrase/segment in and of themselves, or grouping captions based on linguistic clauses?
>>
>>457893
prolly

but end of day it really very simple: dont confuse the audience just cuz you have some hair brained idea about captions.
>>
>>457893
For basic technical standards you can look at closed captioning resources, check out "Major Considerations for Filmmakers" for the numbers-

https://simpledcp.com/introduction-to-timed-text-in-dcps/

That may be specific to some program but the basic minimum timing and legibility stuff is the same for any method.
Anything you might do beyond that to add drama or humor or suspense or whatever to the delivery of subtitles is directing.

European TV and media has good standards, especially the Finnish telly.

There's a lot of small details, but tl;dr:
>give each word minimum of 0.3 seconds on screen.
>don't be afraid of letting the text "over stay" on the screen after the character's stopped talking, especially when translating from another language.
>if multiple characters talk right after another, consider showing both at the same time. Line break in-between.
>Pure white font + black outline = easiest to read.
>Font size should be at least 10% of the fame height, centered horizontally, and slightly elevated from the bottom edge. Some even take it as high as 2 to 3/5ths from the bottom.
>>
>>457893
it's mostly common sense but it depends on how difficult the prose is

Graphic artists are more necessary than ever, but the tools and resources make it easier than ever.
The demand for the skill isn't disappearing, but the supply of decently skilled graphics people is bigger than ever.
It's turning more into a general labor position, except instead of being good with your hands and willing to exert yourself physically, you need to be good with computers and willing to exert yourself creatively.
It's this way more than ever, but it's been going this way for a very long time.
Most people who study and get a job in graphic design move onto other fields by the time they're 25. They'll retain and use their design skills, but the design skills are one discipline of many.

This is true and also depressing as fuck, I know so many graphic designers who can't draw or paint for shit, its insane that we created this world in which honest beauty and aesthetics are not only dead but actively discouraged in favor of some esoteric numbers-based wankery
If you're one the few people that actually grasp traditional mediums like drawing painting fairly well while also being proficient with digital programs I think you'll have no problem finding work but I'm afraid the damage to one's soul might be too much to bear for the average person

How do I cope knowing that the best logo ever is ruined by a retarded ideology?
Nothing comes even close to the swastika. It makes me depressed to the point of giving up logos completely.

Even just the *word* without the symbol triggers unintended, unwanted and unfavorable connections that have nothing to do with historical context-

>Swastika Trail, near Puslinch Lake in central southwestern Ontario, was named in the 1920s.

>(Randy)Guzar, who has lived on the road for the past 18 years, said he associates the swastika with the bigotry and genocide of the Nazis.

>“He does not want to be linked with the symbol, and he says that when he presents his driver’s licence or health card, he is routinely asked if he is a white supremacist or a neo-Nazi,” court said in its decision.

This Karen doesn't give a shit about the history of the street he moved to OR the larger history of the symbol OR even the fact that there's dozens of types of symbols that are swastikas and bear little resemblance to the Nazi one...he actually went to court in part because he was butthurt that people made that history known before people voted on a name change-
>Among other things, Guzar objected to how the cottagers association held its vote, including distributing a pamphlet about the positive history of the swastika before the Nazis used it.

It's literally just a variation on a cross symbol, one of the oldest, dirt simplest and most ubiquitous symbols known to man.

As a visual mark of differentiation or distinction it is objectively shitty on that count alone, especially when you rotate it to an X shape...a shape not just used by everybody to mean practically anything, it's also so lacking in innate meaning that it is also used to symbolize nothing, erasure...or AN UNKNOWN QUANTITY... which is the exact opposite of what a logo is supposed to convey.

Yea, but what you said unironically good. The design panorama needs experimentation and exploration, not this bullshit of safe bets. Even the quirky branding of new premium products are following certain guidelines to make it a safe bet, even this ~Le Fluent Design®~ have a lot of study from souless brands behind. Design zeitgeist nowadays is uninspired and if it migrates back to randos downloading a pirate software and making soulful shit for their pet project, it will unironically lead to a good future, but I doubt it ever will, as nobody has free time anymore to waste.

They're all good but you need to adjust the sun's shape (the 'direct rays'). The sharp corners that protrude just slightly are ugly.

The last one's 'indirect rays' are maybe too similar to the old Japanese flag, but it's still good. Reminds more of a black hole than a sun however.

If you make the sun fit completely inside of the third one, it might be a nice design as well, especially with the less busy corners of the first one (without the eight extra 'indirect rays').

The fourth one might look better if you reduce the 'direct rays' by half, removing them from inside of the 'black rays'; it's too "busy" this way.

Try a version of the second one without any 'direct rays' as well (basically the last one with a cross).

These changes were driven by technology just as they were taste. Industrial engineering and materials science, improvements in CAD, 3d modelling software and Photoshop (Aqua and Aero owe everything to PS' layer styles feature), the displays that we view these designs on and the restrictions they demand.
Flat design dominates because these technological factors have barely changed in the past 10 years, so the only thing left is taste. And taste has changed, but it's not like Spotify is going to make their logo all-chrometype any time soon. Phone displays have gotten larger and more vibrant; maybe that'll result in skeuomorphism coming back? I dunno.
>>
idk man. Flat is meant to give room for the users to do their thing, but I was brainstorming an idea and i realized i circled back to hipsters of the early 2010s.

How I got there was thinking how everyones lost their optimism for the future. Stagnation, death, and just gloom and doom. I wanted to make a rebelious aesthetic. A kamikaze towards the future, maybe brutalism or punk, having to have a resolute acceptance of death, i figured a more grounded peaceful yet steady approach, better. A walk towards the future instead of going full throttle.

Charcoal and stone finishes for your electronics casings. a matte finish. cables wrapped in a type of woven fiber. Wooden desks and chairs. Not to heavy but more sturdy than the flimsy minimilst breakable stuff. use of earth tones and amber leds. mugs and bowls made of clay.

Thats when i realized I was thinking of a hipsters coffee shop. Hobbits with laptops. maybe dial it back a bit to be less pretentious hipsters and more about being home with mom and dad for the holiday. Home. Anyways, i could go for a dirty chai.

LOFL, no it doesn't.

If anything the fact that non artists are aware and talking about it just means it's doing exactly what a logo and especially a redesign and rollout is imtended to do.

Only someone completely ignorant of how this stuff works thinks that a new logo being an aesthetic improvement is the goal, or that people judging it as a "bad" redesign will create a net loss of customers or revenue for a company with massive market share in its space.

How many times do the retards on this board need to be told that logo design and re-design isn't about artistic ideals or seeking the approval of self appointed critics on aesthetic grounds?
>>
>>457968
Okay buddy, you send out that rebranding proposal with the poop emoji as a logo. Wait for your promotion to land shortly after that. Surely, everyone will be talking about it, right(?)—since that's the unit of measure in design, and that's how you service a corporation's heritage, éllé-mayo. Scrub, you're underage and it shows.
>>
>>458146

>poop emoji as a logo

have a little self respect, there's no need to embarrass yourself with retarded babbling strawman arguments that have zero to do with what anyone actually said or proposed and just make you sound childish and stupid.

>be PayPal
> hold 40.52% of the global market share of the payment service segment
> so big your name is used as a verb for making online payments
> make minor visual change to corporate ID
> won't lose a significant amount of customers based on aesthetics, only self involved faggots care
> won't attract a bunch of new ones either but it doesn't really matter since you own near half of the global market already
> change causes corporate ID to be wailed about by silly wannabe critic faggots which makes the subject fresh in the minds of existing PayPal users and potential users, most of whom probably couldn't guess the name of PayPal's top competitor in a pop quiz but won't even look it up because PayPal instantly comes to mind if they need the service.
> maintain 40.52% of the global market share of the payment service segment for the cost of a minor redesign with virtually no risk
